I was given Rituximab and Vinchristine for nearly a year. During the three hours it took to get it in my veins, I felt as if I was being kicked in the stomach. They gave me morphine and gas/air but It still made me crease. In the end they sedated me so I slept through the pain. It left me feeling battered for days but the 20 steroid tablets I had to take for ten days after kept me awake even though I was really tired. Thanks to you all for your nice comments, I will beat this thing! Cheers, everyone!
